ANTILEAK TIRE COMPOUND.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MILES FRANKLIN ployed on automobiles and bicycles, are

quick-1y closed, thereby preventing the escape of air therefrom.

My composition consists of the following ingredients, preferably, combined in the following proportions:

Asbestos fiber 80 pounds.

I Glucose 1 gallon.

Corn starch 5 pounds. Bull; starch 5 pounds. Glycerin 3 gallons. Alcohol 16% gallons. lVater 57 gallons.

These ingredients are thoroughly miXed' Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 23, 1912.

Patented June 17, 1913. Serial No. 721,966.

In practice, about one quart of the compound is introduced into a three inch tire,

the quantity being increased in proportion forlarger tires. The compound remains in a llquid state and flows within the tire as the same rotates, so that should the tire become punctured by a nail or other obstacle, a portion of the compound will immediately enter and seal the puncture.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

l. The herein-described composition of matter for sealing punctures in pneumatic tires and the like, consisting of asbestos fiber eighty pounds, glucose one gallon, corn starch five pounds, bulk starch five pounds, Water fifty-four gallons.

2. The herein-described composition of matter for sealing punctures in pneumatic tires and the like, consisting of asbestos fiber eighty pounds, glucose one gallon, .corn starch five pounds, bulk starch five pounds, glycerin three and one-thirdgallons, alcohol sixteen and two-thirds gallons, water fiftyfour gallons.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
